    Wasn't he his manager as well?

    all well and good that he's a 'legend. He was also the man who sliced open Ali's glove during the Cooper fight thus giving Ali recovery time after he was floored by a hammer from 'enry. Dundee also administered smelling salts to Ali after the knockdown, a breach of the rules .. so. a legend, a genius, a pragmatist and a rule disregarder .... my kinda guy
